By Elizabeth Low, Norman, OK

If I could trust you If I could find the courage to do it Then I would let you Look into my heart And ponder my dreams My hopes My fears My longings But what you would find in abundance Is insecurity You would see that the smile on my face Is just a mask to hide the internal tears You would see that the loving look in my eyes Is really a pleading cry for help You would see that when I sit close to you I am begging for comfort You would see that when I stand near you With tears in my eyes I really want a hug You would see that when my head is hung And with tears my eyes are stung I really want you to look at me, to lift my chin to the sky You would see that when I am soul-injured depressed That I am truthfully afraid
